Pray for Ethiopian Messianic Jews Denied Israeli Citizenship

Three Ethiopian Messianic Jewish families have been denied Israeli citizenship because they claim Jesus as Messiah. The Law of Return states that Jews are entitled to immigrate to Israel and receive citizenship if they have a Jewish mother and are not a member of another religion, or if they are a convert to Judaism. All three of the Ethiopian families have Jewish backgrounds and view their faith in Jesus as a fulfillment of their Jewish faith.

Write your own prayer for Ethiopian Messianic Jews

Lord, allow your Jewish children to go to their ancestral land and witness to your Messiah.

Father God, bless those who are not ashamed to call Jesus Messiah, Savior, and Lord. We know that it is not just certain people who have rejected Jesus, but ALL have sinned and Satan works to destroy the truth through the sin of pride that dwells in our hearts. Please BLESS those who have seen the truth and the salvation Jesus brings.
